    Achievement Unlocked: Convincing Win Over a Bad Team

  2. frmacleod

    My emotions got about as high for that as they do for a preseason game. But a win is a win is a win.

  3. JamesCurtis24

    Not super impressed with the two goals against or the 0/3 on the PP, but I’ll take it. On to the next one.

  4. mattattaxx

    If Patty Kane can’t even score against us, how will he score *for* us?!

  5. Sleazy_T

    Today is looking like the day that Keefe finally scratches you
    And by now, you should’ve somehow realised what you gotta do
    I don’t believe that any Leafs fan feels unlike I do about you now

    And lately, Toronto Maple Leafs approach the deadline as top buyers
    I’m sure you’ve heard it all before, but you might be in a trade for Meier
    I don’t believe that any Leafs fan feels unlike I do about you now

    With all your gaffes that stopped us from advancing
    And all the roles that Dubas is enhancing
    There could be a roster spot that still makes sense for you, but I don’t know how

    Because maybe
    You won’t be here to cost us game three
    And after all
    You are Justin Holl

    Today you could have got to play but they put Timmins in for you
    Don’t look now, one period down and he’s already at plus two
    I don’t believe that any Leafs fan feels unlike I do about you now

    And when the puck is on your stick I’m frightened
    And when your ass is on the ice mine tightens
    Your underlying metrics really aren’t that bad at all, but I don’t know how

    I said maybe
    You’ll feature on a P. Kane trade tree
    And after all
    You are Justin Holl

    I said maybe (I said maybe)
    You’re gonna make this take look crazy
    ‘Cause after all
    You are Justin Holl

    I said maybe (I said maybe)
    You won’t be here to cost us game three (game three)
    You’ll feature on a P. Kane trade tree (trade tree)
    You’re gonna make this take look crazy (crazy)

    That right there is how I would have expected games against bottom feeders to go this year. Nice to finally get a fairly easy win against a shit team for a change.

  7. SpicyP43905

    Cmon Coyotes, get this Dub, I know they’ll get it done

  8. Letterkenny_Irish

    Not convinced Kane is an answer for the team before trade deadline.

  9. NiteOwlI

    Chicago is basically the league’s pit of despair, however, Kane is not doing himself any favours by playing pond hockey. I’m not sure I have any interest in him after tonight.

  10. Aslightlywetnapkin

    There is 5 reasons why I’m glad we don’t still have Mrázek

  11. Live_Positive

    Guttman played well in his debut. Really excited to see this kid grow!

  12. GrazedByMyMeatloaf

    Biz asking Matthews if he can be a part of the “Chain Gang”

  13. NatureGivesAndTakes

    Wasn’t too invested in this game. Felt like I was more about watching the Hawks players like a window shopper.

  14. nomdreas

    Biz has the best post game interviews.

    The TNT crew is elite.

  15. hbreezy21

    Everyone hating on Kane because he’s the centre of rumours seems to forget he’s playing on one of the worst teams in the league with absolutely nobodies on his line. Of course he doesn’t look like a old Kane…. But you’d be crazy to think putting him on either of Toronto’s top two lines would result in the same production.

  16. two-shit-whit

    hope all the doomer “fans” who were crying before the game even started have learned something… aw who am i kidding you’ll find something to whine about

  17. Samurai1221

    I get they suck but kane just kind of floats around. Timo is on a God awful team but I notice him every shift.

  18. picard17

    When I saw that this was the most heavily skewed betting odds of any NHL game this season, Chicago was on the second half of a back to back and they had some players injured I was sure it was going to be a Leafs loss, so I’m actually pleasantly surprised by this.

  19. usernicktaken

    Lafferty played well tonight, he would be a nice 4th line centre, kid can skate and score.

  20. uncleherman77

    What a fun game to go to as my first live leaf game in 12 years. I was 0-4 with two shutouts and no more then two goals at a game until this one. Willy scoring off the opening face off was such a cool moment live after defending him all these years.

  21. noctisakashi

    If we let Willy go, I’m gonna be big sad

  22. alphacheese

    Connor Ingram 46 save shutout vs Tampa. Coyotes win 1-0 in the shootout. Let’s go!! Good night for the Leafs

  23. Crafty-Departure1919

    Had a particular eye on Patty Kane this game, and was not impressed..he was floating a lot of the time, very little compete, and didn’t look like he’d be a top 6 difference maker..

    let’s use Muzzin’s cap space somewhere else
